A Complete Australian Shepherds Guide: The Complete Guide To All You Need To Know About Nurturing, Training, And Thriving With Australian Shepherds

By: Cartwright, Jackeline

The Australian Shepherd, despite its name, actually doesn't originate from Australia. Its exact origins are a bit unclear, but it's believed that the breed developed in the United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The breed is highly associated with the American West, particularly with the Basque people who came from Europe to the US and brought their sheepdogs with them.
The Basques likely had dogs with them that were bred with local herding dogs in the Western United States. Over time, these dogs were refined and became known as Australian Shepherds because of their association with the Basques, who were mistakenly thought to be from Australia.
They became popular as versatile and intelligent herding dogs, excelling not only in herding but also in various dog sports, obedience, and as loyal companions. Their exceptional
intelligence, high energy levels, and eagerness to work make them sought after in many different roles beyond herding.
